If it seems like you're seeing CBD products everywhere, that's because you are!

Your local gas stations, pet stores – even ice cream shops – seem to have hopped on the trend and for good reason. Sales of CBD products are expected to exceed $5 billion this year, a 706% increase over 2018.

What’s even more likely to have piqued your interest, however, is hearing personal success stories about how it’s helped people with various conditions. From sleeplessness and anxiety to headaches and epilepsy and more, you may be considering if it could be for you or someone you care for.

Ticket price: $40
Your ticket includes light appetizers and wine/beer.

Online ticket sales are now closed. Tickets may be purchased at the door!

Join us as we open up a dialogue aiming to educate participants on everything from:

What exactly is CBD (or more importantly what it is not)
Product safety and quality
Where to buy it and how to use it
Medical merits or myths about how it may help treat mental health, immune-deficiencies, autism, pain, epilepsy, pets, cancer, dermatological problems, Alzheimer's and more.
